Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions

The use of this wonderful website and purchase of Flaviar Membership and other goods and services through this website is conditional upon your acceptance of these rather officious yet necessary terms and conditions. Please read on.

Before offering to buy a membership you must open an account (sign in) with us and by doing so you are deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions. If you don't accept these terms and conditions, we are afraid you will not be able to open an account and become a Flaviar Member.

We may revise this legal notice at any time by updating this page. May we suggest you open up your favorite liquor and check the website from time to time to review the then current legal notice. Certain provisions of this legal notice may be superseded by expressly designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages of this website.

We sell Membership services to our customers whereby we (as a gift to you) also send the desired product at the agreed time to the desired place. Every Membership is made clear at the time of purchase and through subsequent confirmation emails.

Flaviar Membership will auto-renew at the end of the prepaid period and we will provide adequate notice to yourselves in digital form (email).

Our status

Flaviar's obligations under this agreement are to issue the Flaviar Membership to you under the agreement. We are responsible for you receiving the desired services and goods to an (at least) acceptable quality.

Products and services available on our website are sold by a network of independent vendors, retailers, manufacturers and other licensed parties (vendors) that we rely upon. Each product or service listed on Flaviar website is not an offer to purchase such product or service but an invitation to make an offer. You acknowledge and agree that Flaviar does not sell, offer to sell, invite to sell, or solicit any offers. In all instances, all sales are advertised, solicited, offered, accepted, made and delivered by vendors who receive all orders. In all instances, any solicitation, invitation, offer, advertisement or communication is void where prohibited by law.

We may provide links on our site to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking, that products you purchase from third-party sellers, or from companies to whose website we have provided a link on our site, will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are disclaimed by us absolutely. This disclaimer does not affect your statutory rights against the third party.

Your status

By placing an order through our site, you confirm that:

- You're legally capable of entering into binding contracts;

- You and the recipient (in case Flaviar is your gift to someone) are at least 18 years old and of legal minimum age for purchasing alcohol in your country of residence.

When purchasing product or service, you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to the purchase including, without limitation, your credit card information, your billing address, your shipping information, and delivery phone number. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right and authority to use any credit card, debit card, gift card, gift certificate or coupon code utilized in connection with any transaction. By submitting such information, you grant to Flaviar and to vendors the right to provide such information to third parties consistent with our privacy policy and their privacy policies. If you have any questions regarding a vendor's privacy policy, please contact us before purchasing a product.

A person is only allowed to have one account registered with Flaviar. Multiple accounts will be deleted.

You grant us an irrevocable non-exclusive license to use for any purpose any content you post on our website or otherwise communicated to us via any media.

If you access our site and services outside EU, we advise you to check it with your local authority before using any of our services. It is on your own initiative and it is your responsibility to be in compliance with all local laws and regulations, if and to the extent they are applicable.

By placing an order, you represent that you authorize us to act on your behalf to engage a common carrier to deliver your order where you want it delivered. Flaviar and our affiliates make no representation as to the right of any person to import any product into any country or state. Local taxes and excise duties that might apply are your responsibility.

How the contract is formed between you and us

On the purchase of Flaviar Membership until cancellation of the Membership.

Consumer rights

If you're contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a contract at any time in accordance with our refunds policy and receive a refund of the price paid for the membership in accordance with said policy (see Our Refunds Policy).

To cancel a contract, you must inform us in writing, by email or you do it yourself on our website (login to your profile). This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

Complaints need to be placed within 6 months from the moment of the purchase. Complaints at a later date will not be taken into consideration.

Price and payment

The price of Membership will be as quoted on our site, except in cases of obvious ‘doh!' error. These prices include VAT. If there's an obvious pricing error in relation to the Membership which could have reasonably been recognized by you as a mispricing then we have the right to cancel any Membership issued in respect of the deal and issue you a refund in respect of the same.

US Sales Tax calculated during the checkout process is an estimation. The final amount of Sales Tax may differ, but the total amount you pay for your order will not be affected (applies to US customers only).

Payment for all services and products may be made by credit or debit card and/or Paypal. We may sometimes pre-authorise your credit card, debit card and/or other methods of payment when you offer to buy a Membership but will only charge your credit or debit card up to 30 days before the products are dispatched as part of the membership package.

The products are sold under the condition that they will at no point become the subject of duty of tax evasion. Ensuring that any relevant duties or local taxes have been paid remains the sole responsibility of the customer and we will not be liable for any actions undertaken without the appropriate duties having been paid subsequent to the sale.

Credits

There are a number of ways for our members to gain credits. You can spend credits on all non-recurring transactions: Tasting Boxes, Flaviar Deals/Bottles, Membership shipping costs, and Gifts. Credits expire 6 months after you earn them. Current balance and status of the credits can be reviewed by logging into your account on our website.

Credits and promo codes are only valid if gained and used for the purpose intended by Flaviar. Using them in a way they were not intended for can result in erasing the credits from the account, removing credits and promo codes from already existing order, canceling the order or canceling the user account. If credits and/or promo codes are removed from the order, the order is canceled and the customer is notified about it.

Any misuse of Flaviar's referral mechanism is strictly prohibited and can result in credits or order cancellation, cancellation of the user account, or reporting to the authorities.

Delivery

A third party carrier ships the items we send you.

If the delivery address you provide is incorrect, we cannot accept any liability for delay or non-delivery. We also reserve the right to charge shipping costs to re-send the package. If you do not wish the goods to be re-sent we will, at our discretion, refund the value of the goods (except for the shipping costs).

If you refuse any shipments from Flaviar or if the delivery is not successful after the final delivery attempt to the specified address, you will be responsible for the original shipping charges, any duties, taxes, and/or customs charges incurred, and the cost of returning the package back to us. This amount will be deducted from your refund.

We did our best in designing our signature black package to offer not just one-of-a-kind unboxing experience, but also provide maximum protection for its contents. In the (rare) case of receiving damaged goods, please notify us immediately and we will agree about how we can make it up to you. We may ask you to provide a photo and/or written proof before offering any kind of refund or replacement. Notify us immediately also if any items you receive are incorrect or incomplete.

We cannot be held responsible for any orders that are seized, impounded or have additional duty charged on them by Customs.

At the moment we ship to all European Union (EU) countries and the United States, with the exception of the following states: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Virginia. Unfortunately, we also cannot ship to PO Boxes and APO addresses. But don't hesitate to become a member, because we are expanding to new territories every month.

Delivery times vary according to your selected delivery address and availability of the ordered items. A signature may be required for delivery.

Our Right to Cancel Orders
Orders are subject to our acceptance and we may, at our discretion, refuse to accept your order. But worry not, filling your home bar with extraordinary choices is our number one goal, so we will only cancel orders that we suspect were placed using incorrect information, misuse of our credits and promo codes system and other forms of fraud.

If that is the case with your order, our Customer Support representative may contact you first by email and give you a reasonable amount of time to respond to our concerns. However, we reserve the right to cancel the order at any stage of order fulfillment process with no further notice.

Another reason for us to cancel your order is if it cannot be fulfilled due to unavailability even 2 months after it was made. It does not happen a lot, but just in case, and for this kind of cases, we don't take any responsibility for damage caused due to longer fulfillment times or due to inability to deliver items that are not in stock.

In case we had to cancel your order, the payment that you made will be refunded as soon as possible via your original payment method, latest within 30 days from cancelation.

Gifts
Unredeemed Gift Vouchers will expire in 6 months from the day of purchase.

Our Refunds Policy

If we're providing a refund:

1. Membership
- You may cancel your Membership within 3-days after becoming a member for a full refund by visiting your Membership page and completing the cancellation process. We may charge you (or withhold from your refund) the value of benefits used during this period.

- Cancelation requests after the 3-day grace period will result in Membership renewal prevention; membership status remains unaltered until the end of the prepaid period. You can pause your Membership or prevent it from renewing any time by visiting the Membership page or by contacting our Membership team at hello@flaviar.com.

- Membership Renewal. Same rules, time limitations, and refund eligibility options apply as described above for when becoming a member.

- Any product incentives to join the club are nonreturnable and will be deducted from the refund.

2. Store Purchases

- Because your goods have not been delivered within 2 months of the day you placed the order, we will refund your payment in full.

- Non-returnable and non-refundable purchases: personalized items (e.g. engraved), all items from our "Vault" store, and also all unique pre-sales, special collaborations, and items of seasonal relevance unless stated otherwise

For any other reason at our discretion, we will notify you of such refund via email within a reasonable period of time. We'll usually process the refund due to you as soon as we can.

We'll refund any money received from you to the method of payment originally used unless agreed otherwise (i.e. store credit).

Dispute Policy

If you believe any content posted by another user is in breach of these terms or in any other way infringes your rights, you can send us a formal notice (a “moderation notice”):

A moderation notice should be sent either:

- by post: to our current registered office, marked for the attention of “The Legal Department”; or

- the action that you wish us to take in respect of the comment(s)/content; and

- the basis on which the action requested is requested (e.g. alleging it to be defamatory, abusive or otherwise in breach of these terms).

On receipt of the moderation notice, we shall, in most circumstances:

- immediately suspend the comment(s)/content concerned;

- commence an investigation into it/them; and

- contact the user(s) concerned:

with a copy of your moderation notice;

- giving them an opportunity to make representations to us in connection with their comment(s)/content and any points you made in your moderation notice, and requesting that they respond to us within 21 days.

- If we do not receive a response from the user(s) within 21 days, we will permanently delete the relevant comment(s)/content.

- Once we have received a response from the user(s), we will take a decision within 21 days on whether to reinstate the comment(s)/content, permanently delete it/them or keep it/them suspended pending further investigation.

- Once we have taken our decision, we will notify you and the user(s) concerned as soon as possible. When notifying you of the decision, we will attach a copy of the user(s)' representations (if any), redacted to protect their identity.

- For the purposes of openness and fairness, we will send copies of all relevant correspondence addressed to it to all parties, again redacted where appropriate to protect the user(s)' identity.

Our right to vary these terms and conditions

We have the right to revise and amend these terms and conditions from time to time to reflect changes in market conditions affecting our business, changes in technology, changes in payment methods, changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and changes in our system's capabilities.
